Ponse . Lyeeuni.,-The lecture of the Rer. Dr.
likCartee, on Tuesday evening last, was a compo
sition of pommon power, and was listened to with
delight, b • a_cmwded audience. Our' friends will
be grat4 to learn that the next lecture will be de
livered by Prof Henry D: Rogers, the State Geolo
gist, on t science to which his time and talents
have been so profitably devoted.
A Hors Thief..—Some time lest week a `fellow
was arrestrW in our Borough, on suspicion of having
purloined valuable horse. He escapel from his
captors, 4 d after leading them a long chase, took
refuge in in abandoned caul drift, from which he
wu hunted out by bull-sloga! He as uuliu jail at
Orwigsbarg, awaiting his trial.

pursuing their interesting researches among the
mineral trasures of the region.
The it

more d , ant in the human breasi than the wish
to be bii ed with our kindred. Sacred writ givea
examples of most touching pathos in this yearning

Littiy Flora Huslings.—This lady's name has all
the ingtedients 'for a novel, and the queen'■ late
quarrel with her, has given it on unpleasant notorie
ty. Vicuiria hinted that Lady Flora. was some-,
thing-like, or unlike §colf • Eva ine Ilenengar,
NViJowed wjfe, and married maid
Beti:othed, betraier and betrayed,
or as the Irishman said, that she had been married,
without the "benefit of clergy." This of course gave
just cause of indignation to her noble family, and
Victoria, who has more-of the storm and the tempest
in her disixtsitiori, than the sweet dew that descends
on the rose, or the gentle breeze that playwamid the
- new mown hay, was unwilling to make concessions,
although she knew she was wrong. But it appears
that when the marriage of Major Campbell and Miss
Louisa Ricketts took place at fit. Mary's Church,
Bryiiiinone Nuare, Lady . Flora Hastings was one
of the bridesmaids, and leaving the church was
recognised by the body of spectators that
the cavalcade had attracted to.the spot. • Thee cheers
by which this amiable and injured lady was greeted'
were unanimous and enthhaiastic.
Now this is rather a wiming to the Queen, and
if she does nut wish tottiamit to her posterity—
that is provided she marri Master John Van Bu
ren, and has little responsibilities—we say, if.she
doer not wish to transmit a reputation like that of
Queen Elizabeth, who eolith) !dap and buffet her la.
dies, she moat refrain from: such undignified conthict,
or men will say ..she needy plays a part, nature
iie'er designed her for,",.
Mr. a Vevens.—The indignation and wrath which
the locus have poured out upon M. Stevens, as well
esemplified by the story pf a fellow who went to a
pariah priest, and told him, with a long face, the he
had seen a ghost. s Whin and where I " o I was
passing by the church, and up against the wall of it
did I behold the spectre." sln wlfat shape did it

amid, its -scenes r"eac.h sudden turn dovelopes isbeau
tifultaludicape, or shows us the lake-like river, em
bosomed by gendytaloping hills, or reflecting the.
high summit of some rugged mountain. On the
part of the - route-south of Reading, we hive all the
beauties arid powers of art to interest. us. The rail
road carries us throughri section of.country, teeming,
with rich -and highly cultivated farms, manufactu
ring villages, and inland towns, while the Black
Rock Tunnel and the viaduct over the River at its
opithem entrance, are unsurpassed in their gran
deur of appearance, and the beauty of the workunui
ship. Every spot speaks of prosperity--evert field
seems a garner of earth's produce; every mddest,
heaven-pointing village spire, proclaims \the moral
feeling of our land, and every change of view is full
of nature's charms, and man's triumphant progress
in the arts.
Leaving the Rail Road at Reading, the stage' route
"commences through thirty six miles of varied scetie
• "combining the 'placid flog, of the river, the pic
turesque grouping of 'the hills, and the bold, crag
teeming mountains,
liieng, high their foreheads bare,
or feathered " o ' er by wildcring forests " A few
of the most striking points of scenery we would
mention. The first is the view from the hill, a mile
or so south of Hamburg. Earth does not li t old a
lovelier valley, than is-here spread beneath the feet,
and before the eye of the traveller ; clothed in its
emerald verdure, it extends for miles, unbroken, and
gently undulating like the ocean wave, wfien its last
panting is hushed after the tempest. Afar, in the
distance is seen arising from earth, and commin
gling with the clouds, that range of the Allegheny
Mountains, which crosses the Schuylkill near, Port
Clinton, and amid the gorges of which, the river
assumes so• many picturesque meanderings.
.The
soft and quiet repose of this first view, is strongly
contrasted with the wild Alpine road, which winds a
long the base of the mountains between Hamburg and
Port Clinton For miles, the traveller is fascinated
with the ccnstant and • ever-changing aspect of the
scenery. On his right,the mountains seem impen
ding o'er his head,
As if an infant's touch could urge
Its headlong passage down the verge—
crag piled on crag, and mass o'erhanging_masa, add
grandeur to the scene, while on his left, at intervals,
the river is seen, now compressed between moun
tain promontories, and now, unrolling its waters
into a broad mirror-like sheet, on which is reflected
the bold and beetling crags of the opposite shore.
Proceeding amid such beauteous scenes as this, ..at
length he arrives at the u Blue Mountain Dam," end
here cradled withic an amphitheatrical range of hills,
the Schuylkill seems to sleep as quiet as an infant's
slumber. The view from this point is gorgeous in
the extreme ; when first we saw it, some years ago,
its natural grandeur was increased by a thunder
storm. Then, when the heavens seemed lurid with
the artillery of the skies, and peal after peal in rever
berating horrors, discharged its pent up fury, each
mountain seemed to bend beneath its 'power, and
the river in affright to recede from its banks. The
horses of the stage, in which we were conveyed,
dashed madly and frantically forward—a high true,
shivered by the r lightning, fell almost across our path,
and for near ten minutes,.we spoke not a 'word—our
breathing was almost hushcd-Lthe beautiful lines Of .
Montgomery past through the mind ;
Tremble ! ocean, earth and sky !
Tremble ! God is passing by !
Hear you not his chariot wheels
As the mighty thiaidcr rolls
Nature, startled nature ! reels
From its centre to the poles !
Since that period, we have seen it often, when
clothed :in the calmer beauties of sun shine and
moonlight. We have a fancy that this point of the
Schuylkill resembles Loch Katrine. and often have
we in imagination, peopled it with the fairy creations
of Sir Wafter ScOtt. No one can see it, without
being charmed by ifs wild beauty, and the grandeur
of the mountain pass, as the river breaks through It.
Not to touch on the many intervening points. of
great interest to the-traveller in search of the pictur
crape, qe c:annoeclose this article without adver
ting to the sublimity of the scenery in the immedi
ate vicinity of Pottsville. Replete as is this loca
tion with objects to attract the lover of nature, there
is perhaps no spot more beautifully grand than the
view from the Sharp Mountain, on the western side
of the gorge; through which the Schuylkill passes.
The river above this point amps westward, along
the northern base of the range, in quest of an outlet
towards the south, seeking with a "suit eternal ten
dency," its parent ocean-. The first openingirre;
sentg itself here, and turning at an acute angle, it

•Ireland was the battle-field on Which during, the ca-
L reer of the present , Administration, almost all the
chief conflicts, both
. of party and opinion, had been
fought. Ireland was, als o, s the topic which, on this

it an abiding sting. He aceused the House of Lords

said the noble lord, in conclusion, •at all events we
are now determined to have this point cleared up.
We will not accept your commentaries, nor your
glass, nor your palliation. We' will leave no room
for ambiguity: we have hail enough of partial attacks
and isolated charges, of inuendoes and. abuse, of
motions for papers here, and committees there. We
now come for a direct, an unequivocal opinion at
your hands: we win take no low ground, we will
exist no longer on sufferenc,ea. We 'will tell you,
-that we will not put op with passive acquiescence,
or bare endurance. We ;kill' not be even contented
with acquits!. My noble friend asks you this night
for a direct, downright vote of approbation. In the
name °Me Irish Government, and of the whole Go

fearlessly, that we have deserved well of our coun

can lesson the force of, and upon this issue! call yon'

to the vote. " '
The noble Lord„aseated himself, amid deafening
